Notable Features of CBU Mailboxes
USPS- United States Postal Service revised the design and features of the CBU cluster box unit and altered the concept of centralized mail delivery for neighborhoods and businesses. In 2005, USPS replaced NDCBU (neighborhood delivery collection box units) with Auth Florence cluster box units (CBU).
Apparently, these changes are not visible to the naked eye. However, upon carefully looking you will see features that were not there before.
5 of these noteworthy features are;
Inclined Roof
The most prominent yet hidden feature of cbu mailboxes is their slopped roof. This new improvement is not that visible and the roof still seems flat, but in actuality, the roof is slightly angled. This improvement prevents the setting of rainwater or snow on the mailbox roof. It just not only deals with the problem of rust and water seepage but also keeps the mail safe in the mailbox.
Moreover, the addition of a drip edge also increases the protection of your main from the dripping rainwater.
Improved Security
New designs of CBU mailboxes are altered in a way that prevents mail theft and vandalism. Whether you expect important business documents in your mail or just plain deliveries, you can have the assurance that with more improved CBU, your mail is secure.
Furthermore, you can find many technologically advanced and secure CBU mailbox units now. For this, you can take multiple quotes from various manufacturers and learn about their mailbox’s security features, or customize one as per your needs.
Weather Resistant Feature
Another noteworthy feature of CBU mailboxes is their protective powder coat finish. This layer keeps the mailbox not just safe from harsh weather conditions, but also protects them from scratches. For places with harsh weather conditions like extreme rainfall, snowfall, or humid sweltering hot spells, this powder coat finish proves to be an extremely desirable feature. It enhances the durability and the lifespan of these mailboxes.
Cam Locks Addition
The most prominent feature of these improved CBU mailboxes is their heavy-duty cam locks. These locks take the security of the mailbox to a new level. To provide extra protection these locks are zinc plated and ensure a great anti-theft feature. Moreover, you can expect the whole line of replacement supplies with these mailboxes which ensures the security is not compromised no matter what.
Installation Variety
The best thing about these mailbox units is their variety of installation. You can have installation services from any supplier you are getting these locks. Or they will refer you to one providing these services if they are not providing the installation services.
On the basis of pedestal installation, these units are installed in three ways.
- Using existing anchor bolts to mount the pedestal
- Mounting new anchor bolts into existing concrete that doesn’t have the anchor bolts before.
- Replacing old anchor bolts with new ones to mount the pedestal
So, these are the 5 features that have improved the working of CBU mailboxes and revolutionized the centralized mail delivery system.
